I've got a Scott Oiler fitted to my ST'03 - is this the same or 
different to a pro-oiler?  The Scott Oiler is wonderful - works exactly 
as required and makes no mess, while almost eliminating chain 
maintenance.  I'd recommend it as an essential improvement to any 
(chain drive) bike.  The fitting for mine was done by the dealer before 
I got the bike (first owner got it at time of purchase) and they did a 
very neat job - the oil cannister fits neatly under seat, with all 
tubes etc. out of sight, except for feed to rear sprocket: it looks 
like they knew exactly what they were doing etc.  Looking at 
installation instructions, nothing looks too complex to do yourself, so 
it really comes down to how much time you have and your confidence in 
getting it right first time.  And presumably your budget - I guess 
getting a dealer fit won't be cheap.

Best regards
